Language: Eng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese eight new stories from the celebrated novelist and short-story writer Nathan Englander display a gifted young author grappling with the great questions of modern life, with a command of language and the imagination that place Englander at the very forefront of contemporary American fiction. The title story, inspired by Raymond Carver's masterpiece, is a provocative portrait of two marriages in which the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game. In the outlandishly dark \"Camp Sundown\" vigilante justice is undertaken by a group of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave. \"Free Fruit for Young Widows\" is a small, sharp study in evil, lovingly told by a father to a son. \"Sister Hills\" chronicles the history of Israel's settlements from the eve of the Yom Kippur War through the present, a political fable constructed around the tale of two mothers who strike a terrible bargain to save a child. Marking a return to two of Englander's classic themes, \"Peep Show\" and \"How We Avenged the Blums\" wrestle with sexual longing and ingenuity in the face of adversity and peril. And \"Everything I Know About My Family on My Mother's Side\" is suffused with an intimacy and tenderness that break new ground for a writer who seems constantly to be expanding the parameters of what he can achieve in the short form. Beautiful and courageous, funny and achingly sad, Englander's work is a revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nathan Englander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094015500512,"sku":"9780307989314","price":132.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/4124v9qpvAL.jpg?v=1781647031","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/what-we-talk-about","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
